At Baek Mugyeong’s cold refusal, I drew in a short breath. Divorce would be to his advantage, yet I couldn’t understand why he claimed not to need it. I wanted to ask if he had some reason, but I held back. Thanks to starting work a bit early in life, I had developed a decent sense of reading the room. From convenience store part-timer to factory worker, I had met all sorts of people. The man in front of me belonged to a particularly difficult type. If I clung to him now, it would only take a…- 281.3 K • Completed
- Once the study door closed, no more sound could be heard. I quickly made my way to my room on the second floor. As a habit, I locked the door and then sat on the edge of the bed. Could it be that the wedding might fall through? Since Baek Mugyeong, the groom-to-be, had said he didn’t want it, there was a chance we might not be able to get married. I couldn’t afford to just marvel at the butterfly effect that began with our first meeting in the bathroom. All the plans I’d made yesterday and…

- Baek Mugyeong didn’t question anything further. Instead, he politely asked Jeong Guhyeon to move his car. When Jeong Guhyeon reversed the Audi, Baek Mugyeong calmly drove away. As soon as he was gone, Jeong Guhyeon, who had parked haphazardly in front of the underground garage entrance, exploded. “Hey! What the hell?! Why’d you make me look like a complete fucking idiot? You should’ve told me he was the Executive Director of DS Motors!” “I did say it was Baek Mugyeong.” “Baek…

- It was already close to midnight. Since I would likely be sleeping here, I had to wash up and change clothes. I got up and headed toward the bathroom but paused when I saw the firmly shut bedroom door. Baek Mugyeong had said it was better to lock the door for peace of mind, but if I did that… then even if I had another nightmare, he wouldn’t be able to come in to wake me. After a long moment of hesitation, I passed by the door without touching it. After my father’s car accident, I had…

- Still, I didn’t worry too much. Just like before the regression, all I had to do was go through a distant, indifferent marriage with Baek Mugyeong and eventually get divorced. Letting out a long breath helped clear my head a little. What mattered right now wasn’t Baek Mugyeong, but crafting the perfect plan for divorce. I rubbed my face with both hands, then lay down on the bed. Step by step, I went over what I needed to do. First, I needed money. Marriage would partially solve…

- “Just so you know, this marriage has nothing to do with my own will.” That, I remembered. Baek Mugyeong had said the same thing during our honeymoon. Since it was a political marriage neither of us wanted, he had drawn a line: let’s not interfere in each other’s lives. And throughout our married life, he had stuck to those words. “I feel the same way.” I gave the same reply I had back then, only this time, I truly meant it. Living like business partners, as expected from a…

- Baek Jaehan did not want Baek Mugyeong to gain power through marriage with a well-connected family. So when the chairman of the Daesong Group asked him to look into a marriage partner for Baek Mugyeong, he found me. My background was nothing special, just a modest mid-sized company, and my biological father’s declining business certainly wouldn’t have caught the chairman’s eye. But the Jeong family bloodline had one special trait. Direct-line omegas were guaranteed to give birth to alphas…

- It was only when Zhao Yi mentioned it that Shen Mo realized he had not seen Ji Mingxuan for several days. He had been sleeping heavily at night, and Ji Mingxuan had been busy with the engagement arrangements. Shen Mo did not even know if he had been coming home to sleep at all. Zhao Yi looked around and asked,"Why do I not see Mr. Ji anywhere?" Shen Mo replied, "Mingxuan has many friends. He must be busy entertaining guests." "Mr. Ji really is a busy man," Zhao Yi said. "He always has been,"…

- Shen Mo quietly moved into his own room.That night, he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. But when he woke up the next morning, he found Ji Mingxuan still lying next to him. For a moment, he froze, thinking he must have sleepwalked. It took a while before he fully woke up and realized that he was indeed in his own room. Ji Mingxuan was sound asleep. The sky outside was already beginning to brighten. The soft morning light fell gently across Ji Mingxuan’s face. His eyes were closed and…

- Shen Mo had already known three years ago what kind of choice Zhou Yang would make. Now, it was just playing out again.His heart had long grown numb. The only thing he felt now was worry for Ji An'an. "This kind of love is nothing but an illusion," he said. "Only middle schoolers talk about love these days. Adults care about benefits," Ji Mingxuan replied in the darkness."You know how much a marriage alliance between the Zhou and Ji families could bring. As for love," Ji Mingxuan continued, his voice…
